94 C280 cranks but won't start
My 1994 C280 that has 107,000 miles will turn over but won't start. It seems to be fuel problem. Does this model have a fuel pump located in the fuel tank like some of the other Mercedes? Anyone have a similar problem?
It began 3 months ago and was intermittent. Now it will not start at all.

Sounds like it's the Overvolt Protection Relay. All too common.
Will cause random no HOT starts. Replacement is only about $50..

I read that again... so the car is NOT STARTING period? If that's the case, then I do agree with Dave (great name, btw.
) on the FUEL PUMP. However, if it starts at a later time, then possibly the relay, but more likely the OVP, IMO.
